Description.
The circuit given here is of a 2 x 32 Watt stereo amplifier using the famous TDA2050V IC from ST Microelectronics. The TDA2050V is an integrated monolithic 32 watt class AB audio amplifier IC available in the Pentawatt package. The IC has lot of good features like low distortion, short circuit protection, thermal shut down etc.

Two TDA2050V ICs are used here, one for each channel. For each channel the input audio signal is fed to the non-inverting input of the IC through 1uF (Non-Polarized electrolytic) capacitor and this capacitor performs the job of DC decoupling. The ratio of the 22K and 680 ohm resistors determine the gain of each channel. The network comprising of 2.2 ohm resistor and the 0.47uF capacitor connected between the output of the amplifier and ground forms a Zobel network which represents the impedance of the speaker appear as a steady resistive load to the amplifier output and this dramatically increases the high frequency response.

pls sir can i combine the two amplifier together so that i can be able to get the sound that i need. And again, is there anyway u can apply the this circuit an equalizer so that it will have different section of volumes. I will be so much glad if may request will be answered. Thanks and God bless u.

Hi seetharaman sir,
I MADE THIS AMP 1 MONTH AGO. It is working great. Now i want to make a 2.1 amp using 3 nos of tda2050 in a single supply. Now i have some doubts about making this project. First one is about the supplay voltage. How much voltage and ampire can i use to power this 2.1 amp perfectly using 8inch 4 -8 ohm woofers ? can i use 12-0-12 5amp (+/- 16v) powering both 3 amp? Can i get a good result when making this amp otherwise Plz suggest me another 2.1 amp ckt . Plz help me sir. Iam now waiting for ur replay. Thanks

With 12-0-12 transformer with 4 rectifiers and two filter capacitor you will get +/- 16.8 volts DC. with this the amplifier will deliver 30 watts into 4 ohms load with a distortion fig of 10%. at 0.5% distortion it will be 23 watts. Your transformer should be rated for minimum of 50VA. In the bridged mode operation it will deliver 62 watts into 8 0hms load at 0.5% distortion. your transformer should be rated for 100 VA rating. 4 ohms speaker for bridged operation not recommended with TDA2050.

For input use RCA phono plugs. for speaker output use a different connector to avoid confusions. use screw type binding strips or use push to lock wire type terminals (used for surround speaker connection of TVs amps etc).

Hi Rex it should be 250mV RMS or 720mV pk-pk approx for the rated output as the amplifier gain is just 33.5. and supply voltage is minus plus 18 volt it can just produce 18 watts RMS into 4 ohms load. But data specifies a -3dB power bandwidth is 200mV RMS input.

Hello sir, I m new in elertronic field,so i have not big or deep knowledge about it. Can u tell us which one amplifier is best sound output tda2050 or lm4440. I m so confused which one we use.i wanna spent my money on good amp

Sir, I have little confusion , in this circuit capacitor C6 and C12 – their positive terminal are connected with -VCC and negative terminal with GND but i found in other circuit positive terminal with GND. So what is correct connection ?

You can use 3 inch 30 watts 4 ohms speaker most suitable you may have to fix your speaker in a suitable bass reflex enclosure.
veiw from shaft side the control with all the 3 pins are at the top, left is hot signal point(signal from external source), center to the amplifier Pin1 through capacitor and right to ground/common.

Hi Pankaj you can use 12-0-12 5amp transformer but ensure that you use 2 amp fast blow fuse in both positive and negative rail, in the the event of speaker lead short, to protect the IC. voltage is the criteria but not the current if it is capable of around 2to 3Amp ok for mono and 4 to 5 amp for stereo. still use fast blow fuses for both the channels seperately.

Hi Pankaj it looks like metallic sound (tinny sound). Between C1 and R1 add a 1K resistance connect a 470PF capacitor in parallel to R1. Repeat the same for the other channel also. This should solve your problem.

Hi Pankaj The first circuit is correct. Pin5 to +18 and Pin3 to -18Volt DC. Use a bass treble tone control before feeding the signal to amplifier. You can use any Bass Treble tone control which uses both plus and minus voltage. use the one appeared in Circuitstoday earlierhttp://www.circuitstoday.com/passive-tone-control-circuit

sir there is an another -18 volt shown in the circuit first amp. circuit and in second one both the terminals have +18 v.
I want to know it is in the circuit or printed by mistake…
please help sir
and how can I add bass and trible controls in the circuit.

Hi guys!
I have built this amp just now and im testing it now for a few hours.
With one word its amazing. Realy clear sound for its price. Wonderful amp for use in a normal sized room.
I wasnt realy fan of gainclones till now.

Hi Victor from a dual supply connect positive to +18 volt terminal and negative to -18volt terminal and zero volt (common of both the voltages to terminal shown as earth.(Pin No 1 goes to common via R1 22K)

Hi Ahmed TDA8510 is low power just 26watts BTL amplifier. you require around 40 to 60 watts RMS power for sub woofer as the signals are felt and not heard. so power is very importand. you require a active band pass filter to take care of 20 to 120Hz information for the subwoofer amplifier ofcourse with very low distortion.

hi admin, i found that the subwoofer ‘creative’ depends in its design on the ic tda8510j and mc4558cn please help me to create this circuit because i am really interested in its bass and want to create it.please help me.

Hi Sokar you can have ampli speakers (say with 4 to 6 watt RMS per channel like TDA2002 etc) at each room, keep a selection system near your computer (a simple 2 pole 2 way switch for each room) either connect to signal or to ground with the switches. Since your computer output will be at line level swichitching and running them for long distance with audio quality screened cable will be possible without any drop or noise.

I was wondering, can this circuit be replicated? I’m currently looking for a decent stereo hi-fi amp circuit that can have recieves a single input (from my PC) but the distributes it to several rooms. There will be buttons on the front of the unit which will activate/deactivate the music playing in each room. For example, if i wanted to have music playing in only 2 of the 5 rooms in my house, I can select only those 2 rooms but if i wanted all of them on, I don’t want to have a noticable drop in volume.

Hi Rengarajan You can assemble the motional feed back amplifier appeared in “Circuits today” for your sub woofer amplifier. You can construct 4nos TDA2003 amplifier appeared again on circuits today for your front left, right & rear left, right speakers. Use a standard 5.1 decoder or with any 5.1 DVD player. Sub woofer requires high power because we cannot hear very low frequencies but our body can feel the thump, (this is the reason, why you cannot enjoy head phone music comparing to good reproduction from speaker system, with a very good bass response)so you can place it any where whin the room. The other speakers give you the image hence phasing and direction towards listners are important. for mid and high frequencies a low distortion 6 watt amplifier is good enough. (for side speakers high power is not the criterea)

I have 18v possitve & NEGTIVE supply sub woofer board. but i have to connect to may car audio amp which is working in 12 v DC supply .so I requst to you witch cicurit available for add my car audio amp .
